He was an exec at Spears, Leeds, & Kellogg when Goldman purchased them, but he's not affiliated with Goldman in Chicago.  He's one of the group that owns the Tampa Rays though.

Him being in Chicago makes a lot of sense.  Fantastically wealthy, but super low profile and limited information around him.

That house is AWESOME looking though.  Looks crazy from the street.

Tim Mullen ... Guy got two huge pay days, one from First Options and the other from Spear Leeds.  I though right after the merger of Spear and Goldman he was listed as the head of Goldman's Chicago office (maybe Goldman has more than one "head of office")

He is one of Rahm and Obama's biggest donors.

http://chicago.curbed.com/archives/2014/05/08/inside-the-most-expensive-home-in-chicago-right-now.php

According to Crain's, the estate which sits on four city lots at 1955 N. Burling Street is currently owned by Tim Mullen, an independent investor and big time Democratic campaign contributor. The sprawling estate has dethroned Ann Lurie's monster manse as the city's most expensive, but will it sell before it hits the MLS next month, or will it languish on the market for months without any bites? We'll have to wait and see.

----------

You'd think with all these sports owners and zillionaires living just a few yards off Depaul's campus, the could find some to take interest like Dick Strong.  heck they should have 5 Dick Strongs.

The late Robert Bernard
Very good.  He was one of my favorite clients.

As I remember it, Tim Mullen paid cash for that house.  He bought the lot next door to make the property 5 lots. I'm guessing he put other money in over the years, but that's a nice return on his investment if he gets what he's asking for it.  Good for him.

The only head of the Chicago office that I ever remember recently is Byron Trott, aka Buffett's I-banker.

Back on topic...Marcus Lovett is visiting DePaul this weekend. Maybe LoVett knows who the next coach will be?

Or is DePaul so desperate for another top-100 kid that they'll let LoVett sit in on the interview process? ;D

That guy was great. I was really bummed out when he died. I always assumed blow was a major factor

I thought the same thing. It looks like the NCAA is investigating him for issues at Southern Miss. It sounds like they've decided on penalties.

He had an NCAA investigation follow him from USM. Tennessee hired him anyway. Guess they didn't get enough of that with Bruce Pearl.

and Barnes is now under the gun at Texas........

Pretty sure he won't be able to make any notable improvements in the next few days before the buyout drops...

The AD should be fired as well. Anyone who follows college ball knew Southern Miss was dirty as crap under Tyndell. Downright incompetence for Hart to hire him to Tennessee.

Hokies' fans feared this.


I don't think there is much chance that Texas would go for Buzz.  IMO they shoot higher than that.

I've got to believe Longhorn Nation would go ballistic with a Buzz hire.  Some serious questions all around about him now, his weird pesonality and leading a high major program.  We've all micro analyzed it, but they haven't, and they would not be happy with all the red flags on him his hiring would raise.

Yeah, Texas doesn't take chances on coaches that are quirky.  I think they try to reach out to a Thad Matta...Sean Miller...John Belein...Billy Donovan...

They may not get them, but as the Charlie Strong hire shows, proven coach, straight laced.  They have a lot to offer with their resources so you don't know.

I was bored the other day and read a thread on a Texas message board about who they wanted as a coach. There were multiple pages, and Buzz's name didn't show up once. Greg Marshall was a popular one. Granted, somewhat unlikely based on Sultan's post. Archie Miller and Shaka were the other two big ones.

Does it seem like Depaul is taking an unusually long time to pick a new head coach? It's been two weeks since Purnell "resigned."  I have to think the decision is coming in the next 3 days.

Don't most get a new hire within a week to 10 days?   MU did it in less than 2 weeks and then had an interim AD and rushed the announcement of the new President to get it done.

Not very long. They just scheduled their meetings for tomorrow, so they aren't really hiring someone without an interview. I expect to hear something from Saturday. Especially since LoVett is visiting right around that time too. I imagine that is not coincidence.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Probably need to wait for Izzo to finish coaching in the tournament, aina?

If Buzz was coming off 2 more good seasons at MU, I could see UT being interested.

I know they will set their sights extremely high, and they can pay a TON of $, but as we have seen with some recent searches (UCLA being an example), it's hard/impossible to pull the top guys away from good gigs.

If not for the VaTech move, Buzz might have been in that second tier of coaches that are actually attainable for UT.

But, UT isn't going to want to play the underdog card. They want to be top dog. Buzz doesn't necessarily fit in that type of culture... so I don't know if it would be a good fit anyways. I'm not sure that Buzz is really comfortable with top dog status.

I don't think Buzz and the Texas spotlight are a good fit.

What spotlight?  Texas is first and foremost a FB school.  BB lingers in its shadows.  That's why Rick Barnes has hung on as long as he has.

It's still a really big job, even if football is everything there.  A guy like Buzz, who is quirky and a little rough around the edges, is better suited flying under the radar.
